Long night's journey back to day
Finds endless dreams that seem to fade
Searching for the words I long to say
Translations lost, intentions tossed
The damage of the lines we crossed
Wondering how it is you always seem to stay
Distant echoes screaming from our bed
Drowning in the waters that we tread
Words pouring in and spinning through my head
Some things are better left unsaid
Misperceptions cloud the aim
Eye to eye melts into pain
Left behind regrets full of disdain
Countless rhymes, the constant climb
Compared to all the senseless crimes
Of illness, death and hate leave feeling shame
Distant echoes screaming from our bed
Drowning in the waters that we tread
Words pouring in and spinning through my head
Some things are better left unsaid
Ohhhhh... don't you know
Ohhhhhh... don't you care
No matter what it is we say
It's worthwhile to repair
Walk away broke, bruised and stung
Promising to bite our tongues
Resisting what we learned when we were young
The painted theme, of what we deem
Is never truly what it seems
The hope for peace and silent love unsung
Distant echoes screaming from our bed
Drowning in the waters that we tread
Words pouring in and spinning through my head
Some things are better left unsaid
I guess some things are better left unsaid
Some things are better left unsaid
